Background The global use of plastic materials has undergone rapid expansion, resulting in the substantial generation of degraded and synthetic microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs), which have the potential to impose significant environmental burdens and cause harmful effects on living organisms. Despite this, the detrimental impacts of MNPs exposure towards host cells and tissues have not been thoroughly characterized. Results In the present study, we have elucidated a previously unidentified hepatotoxic effect of 20 nm synthetic polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs), rather than larger PS beads, by selectively inducing necroptosis in macrophages. Mechanistically, 20 nm PSNPs were rapidly internalized by macrophages and accumulated in the mitochondria, where they disrupted mitochondrial integrity, leading to heightened production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). This elevated mtROS generation essentially triggered necroptosis in macrophages, resulting in enhanced crosstalk with hepatocytes, ultimately leading to hepatocyte damage. Additionally, it was demonstrated that PSNPs induced necroptosis and promoted acute liver injury in mice. This harmful effect was significantly mitigated by the administration of a necroptosis inhibitor or systemic depletion of macrophages prior to PSNPs injection. Conclusion Collectively, our study suggests a profound toxicity of environmental PSNP exposure by triggering macrophage necroptosis, which in turn induces hepatotoxicity via intercellular crosstalk between macrophages and hepatocytes in the hepatic microenvironment.

Fluoride contamination is a serious environmental problem in lepidolite hydrometallurgy wastewater. The treatment of fluoride-bearing wastewater is challenging because of the presence of coexisting ions including lithium (Li + ), rubidium (Rb + ), silicate (SiO 3 2− ), sulfate radical (SO 4 2− ). However, aluminum-modified zeolite (Al@zeolite) with sufficient hydroxyl groups and high adaptability has unique advantages for eliminating fluoride from lepidolite hydrometallurgy wastewater. Al@zeolite was prepared on natural zeolite by an atmospheric process and then used for the adsorption of fluorine from fluoride-bearing wastewater produced by the lepidolite hydrometallurgy process. The results of material characterization confirmed the successful immobilization of aluminum within the zeolite pores and indicated the formation of zeolite-Al–OH. The zeolite host significantly enhanced the chemical stability of Al@zeolite against pH changes for a wide pH range of 2.0–10.0. The adsorbent had a surface area of 33.46 m 2 /g and demonstrated excellent capacity and selectivity for fluoride adsorption. Notably, a maximum adsorption of 98.6% was observed at a pH value of 6.0 for a duration of 20 min with a fluoride content of 20 mg/L, and the equilibrium concentration decreased to 0.4 mg/L. The results of fluorine adsorption showed that fluoride uptake onto Al@zeolite agreed well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. The reusability of the substance was evaluated for up to eight cycles following consecutive regeneration with 0.2 mol/L AlCl 3 . The exhausted Al@zeolite was effectively regenerated through simple alkaline treatment for recycling. The above results verified that Al@zeolite is a new kind of efficient defluoridation adsorbent for lepidolite hydrometallurgy wastewater with practical application prospects.

To achieve selective leaching of ion adsorption rare earth, it is necessary to thoroughly reveal the differences in the adsorption mechanisms of aluminum and rare earth elements. In this study, we investigated the adsorption processes of Dy and Al on the surface of K–homoionic kaolinite using batch experiments and sequential chemical extractions. The results revealed that the adsorption of Dy and Al, as well as the desorption of K, followed the Langmuir model. The maximum ion-exchangeable capacity of Dy was higher (9.39 mmol·kg −1 ) than that of Al (6.30 mmol·kg −1 ). The ion exchange stoichiometry ratios of Dy–K and Al–K derived from the Langmuir model were 2.0 and 2.6. The analysis of X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and density functional theory (DFT) revealed that Dy and Al were adsorbed onto kaolinite as outer-sphere hydrated complexes via hydrogen bonds. Dy was adsorbed as [Dy(H 2 O) 10 ] 3+ , and Al was adsorbed as [Al(OH) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ] + . In particular, the adsorption of Al resulted in protonation of the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the kaolinite. Based on the above insights, the higher ion exchange stoichiometry ratios are attributed to closer adsorption distances (6.04 Å for Dy and 3.69 Å for Al) and lower adsorption energies (− 223.72 kJ·mol −1 for Dy and − 268.33 kJ·mol −1 for Al). The maximum ion-exchangeable capacity is related to the change of the surface electrical properties of kaolinite. The zeta potential was increased to − 7.3 mV as the protonation resulted from aluminum adsorption, while Dy adsorption had a minor effect, maintaining a value of − 17.5 mV. Graphical abstract

Three 4-(1 H -tetrazole-5-yl-amino)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-1-one (TATzO) metal salts, K 2 (TATzO)(H 2 O) ( 1 ) and Mg(TATzO)(H 2 O) 6 ·2H 2 O ( 2 ) and Sr(TATzO)(H 2 O) 4 ( 3 ), were synthesized and characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and powder X-ray diffraction patterns. The crystal structure and hydrogen bonding interactions have been analyzed. It turns out that 1 and 3 crystallize into a three-dimensional topological network and have strong π – π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions. Furthermore, the geometric optimization of 1 – 3 was performed using B3LYP-D3/def2svp in Gaussian 16 software package and then analyzed by reduced density gradient. The thermal behavior was conducted using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric (TG). The decomposition temperature of the three complexes exceeds 250 °C, much higher than that of TATzO (230 °C). The thermal decomposition products of 1 were further studied using thermogravimetric-Fourier transform infrared-mass spectrometry (TG/FTIR/MS). The impact sensitivity test indicated that making complexes can help decrease the sensitivity of the original energetic ligand. Graphical abstract

Monodispersed CdS nanocrystals with controllable shape and phase have been successfully synthesized in this study by adding cationic surfactant in noninjection synthesis system. With the increase of the amount of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) added, the shape of the CdS nanocrystals changed from spherical to multi-armed, and the phase changed from zinc-blende to wurtzite. It was found that halide ion Cl - plays a key role in the transformation, and other halide ions such as Br - can also induce similar transformation. We proposed that the strong binding between Cd 2+ and halide ions reduced the reactivity of the precursors, decreased the nuclei formed in the nucleation stage, and led to the high concentration of precursor in the growth stage, resulting in the increase of size and phase transformation of CdS nanocrystals. In addition, it was found that the multi-armed CdS nanocrystals lost quantum confinement effect because of the increase of the size with the increase of the concentration of CTAC.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), characterized by a dense extracellular matrix (ECM), presents significant therapeutic challenges due to its poor prognosis and high resistance to chemotherapy. Current chemodrugs and diagnostic agents largely fail to cross the barrier posed by the ECM, which severely limits the PDAC theranostics. This study introduces a novel theranostic strategy using thioether-hybridized hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (dsMNs) for the co-delivery of copper (Cu) and disulfiram (DSF), aiming to induce cuproptosis in PDAC cells. Our approach leverages the ECM-degrading enzyme collagenase, integrated with dsMNs, to enhance drug penetration by reducing matrix stiffness. Furthermore, the innovative use of a pancreatic cancer cell membrane coating on the nanoparticles enhances tumor targeting and stability (dsMCu-D@M-Co). The multifunctional platform not only facilitates deep drug penetration and triggers cuproptosis effectively but also utilizes the inherent properties of Cu to serve as a T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. In vitro and in vivo assessments demonstrate significant tumor size reduction in PDAC-bearing mice, highlighting the dual functionality of our platform in improving therapeutic efficacy and diagnostic precision. This integrated strategy represents a significant advancement in the management of PDAC, offering a promising new direction for overcoming one of the most lethal cancers.Graphical Abstract

The substitution of microbial fertilizer for chemical fertilizer can not only improve soil fertility but also effectively enhance rice quality. To investigate the effect of different amounts of combined application of chemical fertilizer and microbial fertilizer on the amylose content of rice, this study adopts theoretical calculations to compare the preprocessed Raman spectroscopy information of rice with reduced fertilization and establishes a recognition model for the amylose content of rice, which is used to detect the amylose content in rice. Based on the amylose spectral values measured by Raman spectroscopy and the known starch structure and functional groups, the Raman peaks are mainly distributed in the range of 400 cm − 1 to 1400 cm − 1 . The Raman characteristic peaks at 483 cm − 1 , 869 cm − 1 , 933 cm − 1 , 1082 cm − 1 , 1126 cm − 1 , 1335 cm − 1 , 1385 cm − 1 , and 1455 cm − 1 exhibit strong vibration modes, which are consistent with its main nutrient component of amylose. By comparing the measured amylose content in the regions treated with microbial fertilizer combined with different amounts of reduced fertilization and the spectral intensity values of amylose measured by Raman spectroscopy, the results show that the treatment of combining conventional amounts of microbial fertilizer with different amounts of reduced chemical fertilizer exhibits a decreasing trend in the amylose content of rice.

The rapid recombination of photoinduced charge carriers in semiconductors fundamentally limits their application in photocatalysis. Herein, we report that a superlattice interface and S-scheme heterojunction based on Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S nanorods can significantly promote ultrafast charge separation and transfer. Specifically, the axially distributed zinc blende/wurtzite superlattice interfaces in Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S nanorods can redistribute photoinduced charge carriers more effectively when boosted by homogeneous internal electric fields and promotes bulk separation. Accordingly, S-scheme heterojunctions between the Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S nanorods and MnWO 4 nanoparticles can further accelerate the surface separation of charge carriers via a heterogeneous internal electric field. Subsequent capture of the photoelectrons by adsorbed H 2 O is as fast as several picoseconds which results in a photocatalytic H 2 evolution rate of 54.4 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 without any cocatalyst under simulated solar irradiation. The yields are increased by a factor of ~5 times relative to control samples and an apparent quantum efficiency of 63.1% at 420 nm is measured. This work provides a protocol for designing synergistic interface structure for efficient photocatalysis.

The growing potential of low-dimensional metal-halide perovskites as conversion-type cathode materials is limited by electrochemically inert B-site cations, diminishing the battery capacity and energy density. Here, we design a benzyltriethylammonium tellurium iodide perovskite, (BzTEA) 2 TeI 6 , as the cathode material, enabling X- and B-site elements with highly reversible chalcogen- and halogen-related redox reactions, respectively. The engineered perovskite can confine active elements, alleviate the shuttle effect and promote the transfer of Cl - on its surface. This allows for the utilization of inert high-valent tellurium cations, eventually realizing a special eleven-electron transfer mode (Te 6+ /Te 4+ /Te 2- , I + /I 0 /I - , and Cl 0 /Cl - ) in suitable electrolytes. The Zn||(BzTEA) 2 TeI 6 battery exhibited a high capacity of up to 473 mAh g -1 Te/I and a large energy density of 577 Wh kg -1 Te/I at 0.5 A g -1 , with capacity retention up to 82% after 500 cycles at 3 A g -1 . The work sheds light on the design of high-energy batteries utilizing chalcogen-halide perovskite cathodes.

A highly selective and sensitive silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) biosensor was developed for dopamine (DA) detection utilizing synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS). Si NPs were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method, utilizing 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as the silane precursor and polyethyleneimine (PEI) as the reducing agent. The Si NPs exhibited a spherical morphology, with an average diameter of 3.7 nm. Additionally, the Si NPs demonstrated remarkable fluorescent properties. When integrated into the DA detection process utilizing SFS, the synchronous fluorescence spectrum of the DA system exclusively exhibits a peak at 530 nm, whereas systems involving epinephrine and norepinephrine both display peaks at 484 nm and 530 nm. Consequently, this detection system exhibits a high capacity for effectively differentiating between DA and other catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine), ensuring a high degree of specificity in the detection process. Additionally, this combined approach also presents a strong linear relationship between the enhancement of synchronous fluorescence intensity (F 530 /F 484 ) and DA concentrations within the concentration ranges 1–10 μ M and 10–50 μ M, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.22 μ M (3 σ / k ). Finally, the biosensor was successfully employed for the detection of DA in the spiked serum samples. This work introduced a novel approach for DA detection and provided a valuable technical platform for rapid monitoring of DA levels in biological samples. Graphical abstract

Electrochemical behavior of bisphenol A (BPA) at glassy carbon electrode-modified with layered double hydroxide (LDH) and anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate) is investigated by electrochemical techniques. Compared with the bare electrode and LDH-modified electrode, the oxidation peak potential of BPA shifted negatively and the peak current increased significantly due to the enhanced accumulation of BPA via electrostatic interaction with LDH at the hydrophobic electrode surface. Some determination conditions such as LDH loading, pH, scan rate, accumulation potential, and accumulation time on the oxidation of BPA were optimized. And some kinetic parameters were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the oxidation current was proportional to BPA concentration in the range of 8 × 10 −9 to 2.808 × 10 −6 M with the detection limit of 2.0 × 10 −9 M by amperometry. The fabricated electrode showed good reproducibility, stability, and anti-interference. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine BPA in water samples, and the results were satisfactory.

Many methods have been reported to improving the photocatalytic efficiency of organic pollutant and their reliable applications. In this work, we propose a facile pathway to prepare three different types of magnetic iron oxides/TiO 2 hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) by seed-mediated method. The hybrid NPs are composed of spindle, hollow, and ultrafine iron oxide NPs as seeds and 3-aminopropyltriethyloxysilane as linker between the magnetic cores and TiO 2 layers, respectively. The composite structure and the presence of the iron oxide and titania phase have been confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectra. The hybrid NPs show good magnetic response, which can get together under an external applied magnetic field and hence they should become promising magnetic recovery catalysts (MRCs). Photocatalytic ability examination of the magnetic hybrid NPs was carried out in methylene blue (MB) solutions illuminated under Hg light in a photochemical reactor. About 50% to 60% of MB was decomposed in 90 min in the presence of magnetic hybrid NPs. The synthesized magnetic hybrid NPs display high photocatalytic efficiency and will find recoverable potential applications in cleaning polluted water with the help of magnetic separation.
